Hi guys just wondering best way to connect my PC to a wireless router . router is upstairs and i want PC down stairs looking on eBay etc dongles seem OK but somehow seem too cheap ! any advise .welcome tried to PM "THE DR" but box full .

You can always use the adapters than run the signal through your mains wiring, and these are faster than wireless, but can be quite expensive.

It is all above my head do you keep what i need in the shop I could call in tomorrow . have a chat !

Of course, yes we keep them in, think the PCI wireless cards are about £11, and fitting them is a two minute job so just bring the PC with you and we'll do it whilst you wait.

If you're just using the computer for general use then the wireless cards should be fine, however if you're using it for online gaming the difference in speed between wireless and wired can be noticeable so, as Mark says, the Plugs would be a better (albeit more expensive) option. The cost of the mains plugs varies depending on their speed and if they also rebroadcast the wireless network, so what you are using them for is an important point to consider.

I switched to power line adaptors on mine and have never looked back, I've used pci cards and dongle but with these I had far too many drop outs since I switched to the power line's I don't get any.The biggest problem with the pci card is it is at the back of the pc and once you put it in an enclosed space you weaken you signal. Hope this helps.Beanie.
